Some cats bite to show affection. My little guy has been happily chewing on my knuckles since the day we found him starving in the streets. He’s not particularly gentle about it either, but he’s all purrs while doing it.
One thing I like about the cats I had is that those that weren’t gentle when playing didn’t expect gentleness either. The moment they started to bite too hard I could smack them, they would look at me for two seconds without leaving my lap and get back to bite me not as hard.
i mean i know there are cats that are gonna cat but all of my cats i’ve ever had have done this. they bite (or suckle. or nibble. or whatever you want to call it) to show affection. usually while kneading with their claws. sometimes in the middle of getting pets or giving licks, just a quick bite then back to pets or licks. my current soulcat, half the time she likes to take a nap burying her face in my palm with her eyes closed and her paws wrapped around my hand giving me a hug. the other half of the time she’s chewing on my wrist while kneading her claws into my boob through the fuzzy blanket because apparently she’s a boob cat. fucking ow if i don’t have the fuzzy blanket rolled up enough though. those teensy claws are sharp.
